“…These beds may be correlated with slope deposits from the Krak ow-Czę stochowa Upland, which were described by Pawelec (2008Pawelec ( , 2011. For Deszczowa Cave, the presence of loess is known from the slope in front of the cave (Cyrek et al, 2000), but the details of its lithology were not described.…”

“…Currey, ; Crampton, ; Naylor and Gabet, ). Valley asymmetry is most commonly attributed to different microclimates and weathering and slope sediment transport rates on valley sides with different facing directions (Ollier and Thomasson, ; Burnett et al ., ; Pawelec, ). At Rosemergy we argue that the different lines of independent evidence suggest that a niche glacier occupied the hollow on the NE‐facing side of Watch Croft at times during the late Quaternary.…”

The southernmost Quaternary niche glacier system in Great Britain

Until recently, the scientific consensus has been that the uplands of south‐west Britain remained unglaciated throughout the Quaternary, with glacial ice sheet limits lying to the north of the south‐west peninsula. However, recent work has shown that small glaciers and ice caps existed in the uplands of Exmoor and Dartmoor during the late Quaternary, demonstrating that the consensus of an unglaciated south‐west Britain requires considerable revision. Here we report geomorphological and sedimentary evidence supported by glacier‐climate modelling for a Quaternary niche glacier from west Cornwall, south‐west England. This niche glacier represents the southernmost such system from mainland Great Britain, and provides evidence for the presence of extra‐glacial niche glaciers probably during the Last Glacial Maximum of the Devensian glaciation, and well outside the limits of the main British–Irish Ice Sheet.

“…Likewise, when aggregated together, warm recent temperature extremes (both diurnal and seasonal) can be linked to increased frequency of rockfall events over large regions such as the Swiss Alps, but this relationship is not observed for the Mont Blanc massif (France) or the Southern Alps (New Zealand) (Allen and Huggel 2013). In part this may be due to scale issues when analysing RSF events of different sizes over time and space (Korup et al 2012), but these events are also influenced by different climatic and geologic antecedent conditions and events that are mostly poorly known (Pawelec 2011). In addition, pervasive and long-term slope relaxation by solifluction creep are less well studied (Ballantyne and Benn 1994;Curry 1999) but may be considered as aggregated, regional-scale landscape responses to glacier retreat and/or permafrost warming (Matsuoka 2001).…”

Globally, glacial and paraglacial environments in mountains are vulnerable to the effects of ongoing contemporary climate change (global warming), but monitoring of such systems today provides only a limited spatial and temporal viewpoint of their likely evolution over coming decades to centuries. This is because these environments show complex and nonlinear responses to forcing and are affected by time lags, feedbacks and antecedent factors, including geologic control and geologic history that present monitoring of these systems cannot capture. In order to evaluate how glacial and paraglacial environments in mountains are likely to respond to future climate change, we consider how these environments have responded to climate change in the past (the last glacial–interglacial transition, and the Little Ice Age). From this, we may anticipate the likely responses of glacial and paraglacial environments in mountains to global warming over coming decades. We show that future changes in glacial and paraglacial environments, in particular in glaciated regions in continental interiors, have downstream implications for the biosphere (including biodiversity and ecosystem services, sustainable agriculture and water resources), the human environment (including cultural and heritage landscapes and social/economic activities), and for policy and planning. These will be important issues for the later twenty‐first century and beyond.
